**Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

[HouHsiaoHsien]

This approach has worked against Bumrah quite well till now. All the “proper cricket” wasn’t doing ****

 

[Bahnz]

Haha will the whingers stop yet? This is great.

Nah, this sucks sooooo bad.

 

[vicleggie]

Haha, just wow

 

[Window]

lol what the **** is going on

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Only Ashwin can save them

 

[vicleggie]

I hope for his own sake that this kid never discovers casinos

I hope he does

Young guys with Chutzpah is exactly what this world needs today

Yeah like this is explicitly why he was picked. Fair to be sceptical but it was planned

 

[Daemon]

Get Akash in for Siraj please. Poor guy isn’t going to have a ball that’s still swinging when he gets a go.

 

[Spikey]

This is some of u

 

[Burgey]

90% of me hates seeing a test opener from a real country like ours playing like this, then I remember everyone who’s tried to just see Bumrah off has had their name on one anyway.

Konstas compared to hulk hogan by langer.

 

[ataraxia]

No, it isn't bull. One shot in Test cricket doesn't necessitate that fielder being moved. Higher odds he'd **** it up trying to play it again

Five or six shots.

 

[Betterpolo]

Wonder if they might test Konstas a bit more with the odd short one after that last shot. On his debut Shield match he looked poor against it, though he's improved noticeably since.

That was one of the responses India could have made. Stick a short-leg under his nose too. Anaemic and toothless from them, they're allowing themselves to act the straight man.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Konstas already more than justified his selection; just completely changed the dynamic of this series.

 

[vicleggie]

I tell you, this kid may not have Pietersen's strengths as a batsmen, but he's got a great inner calm, knows his game, is really focussed out there.
Mentally, he is exactly what you want to be as a young, attacking batsmen. Clear head, like Sehwag.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I don't care if he gets out now. Mission accomplished.

Btw don't ban Kohli or they'll all fly home.

They'll be moaning it was racism him not getting out of Kohli's way.

 

[SteveNZ]

Both of them were absolutely determined to not walk sideways lol

Kohli walked on a nigh 45 deg angle!

I love this kid's energy, I honestly do. But I know enough about cricket to know it's low odds stuff

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Konstas making himself some serious IPL coin here.

 

[King Kane]

Konstas has had some luck but he has rattled India and their bowlers with his T20 style batting which is something McSweeney wasn't able to do.

 

[sayon basak]

The fk is happening?
